What’s the secret to a sharper mind and healthier body?
Sleep and stress management. Chronic stress and poor sleep can sabotage recovery, yet many survivors prioritise productivity over rest. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation, and establish a bedtime routine to improve sleep quality.
